Gimme back that hour!

British Summer Time starts tonight.
We are supposed to push the clocks forward one hour, and sleep for one less hour.
Bah.
The birds will still be singing their Dawn chorus - but earlier.
Oh well, I suppose I could go to bed earlier, but there's no guarantee Andrew will be co-operative. He will probably want to stay up to watch the time change.
Gimme back that hour!

If he wants to stay up to see the time change, it's very simple: change all the clocks at 7pm. Voila!

Only one thing wrong with that, I don't change the time on the video, the pc & the ntl (digital) box.
They're the ones he wants to watch change.
I doubt he'll stay awake though - he's on a growth spurt at the moment, and he's almost sleeping the clock round.
He's as tall as my chin, now.
He might reach the height of #1 son, who is 6'2"

I was always under the impression it was 2am. I could be wrong, though

I know who will adjust blisteringly fast to the change: our 
who will find their food coming unexpectedly early.
In October it takes them weeks to get used to the change

At least the was pleased to get her brekkie an hour early
Gimme back that hour!
Sergeant Mushroom Posted Mar 28, 2004
Whereas mine decided we should both have an extra hour in bed. So she kept me awake for an hour longer and then went out.
At 8 instead of 6
Well, either she just didn't need to go or her kidneys have finally exploded...
Gimme back that hour!

It's actually 1am, that the clocks changed.
Niwt, do you put your clocks forward in October? 'Cos that's when we put our clocks back an hour, and we get the extra hour in bed.
Andrew forgot to stay awake
and he was amazed that every clock in the house was correct, when he went round to check them.
Then he asked if I'd changed the clock on the dashboard of the car.
